Steven Judd Image of the Week: 'Powwow Rangers'

ICTMN Staff

9/3/12

Steven Paul Judd, Kiowa/Choctaw, is known primarily as a filmmaker; with writing partner Tvli Jacob he penned and/or directed American Indian Graffiti: This Thing Life (2003), Search for the World’s Best Indian Taco (2010), and Shouting Secrets (2011). Yet he is also a prolific visual artist whose mashups of Native experiences and disposable American pop culture are sly and often downright funny. His creations include paintings, prints, poster art, photography, and t-shirt designs.

This painting, "Powwow Rangers" (30" x 40", acrylic on canvas) is Judd's latest work -- completed yesterday, as a matter of fact. "You might see this guy at the next intertribal, I mean intergalactic powwwow," he tells us.
